Mother’s Day Thoughts
I believe out of all the holidays we celebrate in this nation, there is none more important than Mother’s Day. I miss my own mom terribly and I would love to have another chance to tell her how much she meant to me.
I admit (un-ashamedly) that without having had a mom like mine, I would have never made it to where I am today. And I have been so blessed in my life to be surrounded with women like her.
My wife, the mother of our five children, is not only a great mother but also has been an awesome wife to me for the past fifty-plus years. There are not enough words in the English language to express how truly thankful I am for not just my mom, but also for my wife.
I celebrate all mothers because I know the great price and the personal sacrifices they have made for so many.
But I celebrate all mothers because I know the great price and the personal sacrifices they have made for so many. Motherhood is one of the most thankless jobs in the world. Yet none of us could have life without having a mom.
I want to encourage you mothers who are struggling as widows or have been abandoned by your husband or even by your own children and let you know I appreciate you.
I also want to encourage you “mothers” who never formally became mothers… but every day you are filling in for those who have not understood their gift of motherhood. Thank you for sharing your “mother’s heart” with others. I honor you.
Know today that God is aware of all your pain and quiet suffering over these many years. But He also wants you to know how well pleased He is with you for being a great vessel of love and compassion to the ones He’s placed in your midst.
I say to everyone else: Don’t be sorry later for something you should be doing now. Don’t let this Mother’s Day (and every day) pass without sharing your gratitude and appreciation for her.

Thank you so much! I wish Pastor Michele and all the mothers within the Word of Life family a very happy and blessed Mother’s Day
My Mother has been gone home, with the Lord for ten years nuw. Although I was blessed to have her for seventy-five years, she’s greatly missed, and praised. She loved to pray for others. The younger generation was awed, and happy to see her, a ninety years old lady, leaping and jumping for joy, at the name of Jesus. Thank God for her and you for stirring up my precious memories of Mama. The movie “I Remember Mama” should help awaken how wonderful and treasured our Mothers are.
Thank you so much for caring enough to share your heart with others I thank God that he bought me to Word of Life in Fort Myers Florida I have learned to surrender my heart to the Lord and to trust him completely for everything including my children to come back to their first love Jesus God bless you
